Kids Clubs
Spectrum Connect host weekly Kids Clubs for Autistic and Neurodiverse youth who are aged between 6 and 13 years of age. The groups aim to provide opportunities for Autistic kids to build social networks and try new experiences in safe environments. By creating spaces that are supportive of the needs of Autistic youths, we reduce stress associated with negotiating social situations. With some of those stresses reduced, the children can engage with peers for prolonged periods with more positive outcomes.
The groups have 3 primary goals…
1) Promote social skills by offering supportive environments in which Autistic children can engage with peers to develop their own toolkit of authentic socialisation techniques.
2) Develop fine and gross motor skills by offering a diverse range of primary and secondary entertainment activities that have been selected specifically to support the needs of Autistic and Neurodiverse children.
3) Foster a sense of belonging and community by creating a supportive environment where Autistic children can spend time developing friendships with peers who have shared life experiences.
